The entrance to the cave is a small hole in the middle of a slope, just big enough for one person to come through at the time. Three apes are hiding in the forest and will attack when someone is entering the cave, trying to push the intruder towards the pit trap on the other side of the small tunnel. The pit trap is a simple pit with sharpened sticks, 1D4 damage. It's easy to spot unless you're distracted fighting or fleeing.
